Are you a Patriot?



This song was written by Steven Van Zandt in 1983. He's know as Silvio in "The Sopranos", Little Stevie in concert, and Steven Van Zandt in Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band. Stevie sang his "I am a Patriot" at a 1984 Rockpalast.

Steven's opening speech was made timeless at this concert.
He said "Being a Patriot is about fighting for freedom, truth and justice and not towing the political line".

"Being a Partiot means questioning every MoFo, every time"

He also has written some other political songs on his Voice Of America CD
